Hard Rock Zombies 2008-08-13 06:49:26 “The new Head and Shoulder’s shampoo commercial went a bit over the top. But look no dandruff!”
I’m sure many of you are aware of my continuing quest to find the Greatest/worst movie ever put on film. Like Indiana Jones searching for the Lost Ark, I’m seeking that which cannot be viewed. I’m convinced that looking directly at the movie [...] Read more:Hard Rock

Xanadu 2008-08-01 20:18:20 “The Russian Chernobyl Dance Class gets their groove on.”
When I was a pre-teen, one of my regular weekend hangouts was the local skating rink. Donning a pair of smelly, rented roller skates, I’d awkwardly traverse the infinite circle of wood floor paneling, while songs from the likes of Pat Benatar and the Thompson Twins blared in my ears. “Hit [...]
Re-animator 2008-07-06 23:29:56 “These late night cosmic bowling parties have gotten way out of hand. Frank’s use of a severed head for league play was proof of that even if it did improve his score average.”
Thirty-four years old and I still hate going to the doctor’s office. First there’s the endless wait in the “waiting room”, but then [...]
Lost Highway Welcomes Drive-in Dan 2008-06-20 11:11:33 Raised on a steady diet of Rosen’s Drive-In’s “Famous Double-Decker Dogs”, and peach iced tea, Dan began to cultivate at a young age a life-long appreciation for the B-movie genre and it’s many sub-genres.
“Drive-In Dan” got his nickname after being born at Rosen’s Drive-In, where his mother worked. She went into labor while serving a [...] Read more:Highway

Drive-In Dan brings you his premiere review of “Blood Dolls” 2008-06-20 11:11:18 No, this isn’t an exclusive never-before-seen photo from the new “Honey, I Shrunk My Head” movie. It’s Virgil Travis who was shaken, not stirred as a test tube baby.“
Head puppeteer Charles Band of Full Moon Pictures (now Full Moon Features) brings us yet another unnecessary killer doll movie with 1999’s “BloodDolls
.”
This is your typical [...] Read more:review
Frankenhooker 2008-06-13 13:21:54 “When New York hookers have a slow week, they’ll often perform as street mimes for some extra cash.”
Back in Junior High science class we were forced to partake of the barbaric ritual of frog dissection. You’d think as a horror/sci-fi fan that I would be giddy in anticipating at slicing open a frog like some [...]
Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare 2008-09-02 07:48:52 “Freddy
’s worse fear? missing an episode of “Desperate Housewives.” That’s why he upgraded his new glove with TIVO.”
You know you’re getting old when 9:00 pm rolls around and you’ve already started yawning. Your eye lids are getting mighty heavy while watching Antiques Road Show and you’re pretty winded from trying to find your copy of [...] Read more:Final

The Bubble in 3D (revisited review) 2008-08-21 22:55:23 “A lone Chicken McNugget from the new Super Happy Meals plots it’s unholy revenge.”
Saturday afternoons were always about some great television. After a morning of cartoons and a serving of Soul Train, you knew to prepare yourself for some great edited-for-TV B-movie goodness. One afternoon feature that I remember vividly was “The Bubble

Black Mamma, White Mamma 2008-09-19 21:18:20 “I only wear this shirt to distract people from my face. It’s my only defense.”
On some undisclosed island in the South Pacific, Pam Grier plays Lee Danier, an angry hooker in an evening dress who gets sent to a not-so-classy women’s reform prison in the middle of the jungle. Do not pass “Go”, do not collect $200. [...] Read more:Black

Silent Night, Deadly Night 2008-09-13 20:48:49 “Ho-ho… Uh-oh. Santa’s coming to town for a holiday chopping spree.”
As a young boy I remember the response to the “SilentNight
, Deadly Night” ads displayed in my local grocery store’s video section. Parents quickly covered their kids’ eyes, complaints were made to the on-duty store manager, and little old ladies gave [...]
The Wraith 2008-09-27 12:39:03 “I can put my whole fist in my mouth. That’s how much I love you.”
I used to do a lot of sketching back in junior high, since I had plenty of a thing they call “free time.” Mostly I’d draw zombies chasing cheerleaders or aliens with three boobs vaporizing gym teachers with their brain explodo-rays, but occasionally I’d like [...]
Night of the Demons 2008-11-04 21:36:39 “Always remember, Never Drink and Die. Coffins and beer don’t mix.”
I’m having Halloween let down. No more Halloween horror movie marathons, no more pumpkin carving, no more creepy decorations unless you count those weird inflatable Walmart santas already appearing on people’s lawns, and of course no more candy binges. arents refer to it as ” [...] Read more:Demons

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer 2008-10-22 20:09:55 “His attempt to disprove the myth of eating Coca-Cola and Pop Rocks went horribly wrong.”
Road rage is all the rage these days. It seems the closer I get to Detroit the more the cars are packed in tighter together and the more irritable people get. It unnerves me like being in an elevator with a [...] Read more:Brooks

Rock ‘n’ Roll High School 2008-10-13 22:15:37 “So a mouse, a French leprechaun and an Indian walk into a bar…”
You know I often wonder why people refer to high school as the best years of their lives. Do these people actually remember what is was like back then, or do they get those years confused with a “Saved by the Bell” episode? This adolescent socialist [...] Read more:School
Night of the Demons 2 2008-11-23 20:02:34 “Johnny’s new satanic twister floor game never did catch on at parties. Players kept ending up in purgatory.”
I’m dissapointed that the media never covered a particular subject this past election season that I felt was important. The problem of overcrowded prisons. If you don’t mind me getting up on my soapbox for a second, I [...] Read more:Demons

Leprechaun 2008-12-17 11:28:42 “Here’s a dollar…go buy yourself a bucket of shirts.”
I never haver really understood the appeal of fine jewelry. Women swoon over a pretty diamond perched on a gold ring or a silver necklace covered in precious stones but couldn’t the same look be accomplished with colored glass and metallic spray paint? The obsession kicks into [...] Read more:Leprechaun
A Bucket of Blood 2008-12-07 12:13:01 “Who would stab this helpless wedge of cheese? A shameless cheese cutter?!!”
When I was a student designer in college, one of my required classes was sculpting. As a young illustrator I went in a bit cocky thinking that I could create the next masterpiece simply by closing my eyes and molding the clay into a [...] Read more:Blood
976-Evil 2008-11-29 23:20:51 “Demonic possession is good for boosting low self-esteem and settling scores with old enemies, but unfortunately, it’s bad for your skin.”
With psychic, chat, and sex hotlines gaining popularity in the late 80’s, it wasn’t long before the “for entertainment purposes only” trend inspired a horror movie involving a 976 number. And that’s exactly what
